If a task executes syscall(-1), we intercept this early and force x0 to be -ENOSYS so that we don't need to distinguish this scenario from one where the scno is -1 because a tracer wants to skip the system call using ptrace. With the return value set, the return path is the same as the skip case. Although there is a one-line comment noting this in el0_svc_common(), it misses out most of the detail. Expand the comment to describe a bit more about what is going on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
